I disagree. You should not have as a central example some sort of secret, but trust. Transitivity of trust is limited, and everybody has a unique position in the trust network. Many will have interesting opportunities in their network neighborhoods. (I don’t claim to be typical, but still: I can easily list maybe a dozen of such not easily justifiable opportunities where I could send money; even if I’m somewhere on the tail on the distribution, I’d guess typical lottery winner has at leas 1 or 2 such opportunitites)
